SMF Type 20 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 20 SMF records
(Job Initiation).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: Record type 20 is written at job initiation (including TSO/E logon). This record contains the job log identification programmer’s name, number of accounting fields on the JOB statement, accounting fields, and RACF-related information. The job name, time, and date the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job) constitute the job log identification. It is used by the RACF Report Writer in combination with record types 30, 80, 81, and 83 to produce RACF reports.

The length of record type 20 includes the length of the JOB statement accounting fields and the relocatable RACF section.

Note: IBM recommends that you use record type 30 rather than record types 4, 5, 20, 34, 35, and 40.

It's easy to report on SMF 20 data!

We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus, Spectrum SMF Writer can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

SMF Type 20 Record -- Job Initiation
Offset (Dec.)	Offset (Hex)	Name	Length	Format	Description
0	0	SMF20LEN	2	binary	Record length. This field and the next field (total of four bytes) form the RDW (record descriptor word). See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
2	2	SMF20SEG	2	binary	Segment descriptor (see record length field).
4	4	SMF20FLG	1	binary	System indicator: Bit Meaning When Set 0-2 Reserved 3-6 Version indicators* 7 Reserved.*See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
5	5	SMF20RTY	1	binary	Record type 20 (X'14').
6	6	SMF20TME	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, when the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
10	A	SMF20DTE	4	packed	Date when the record was moved into the SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
14	E	SMF20SID	4	EBCDIC	System identification (from the SID parameter).
18	12	SMF20JBN	8	EBCDIC	Job name. The job name, time, and date that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job) constitute the job log identification, or transaction name (for APPC output).
26	1A	SMF20RST	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job).
30	1E	SMF20RSD	4	packed	Date when the reader recognized the JOB card for this job, in the form 0cyydddF. See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
34	22	SMF20UID	8	EBCDIC	User-defined identification field (taken from common exit parameter area, not from USER=parameter on job statement).
42	2A	SMF20RLO	2	binary	Offset to relocatable area. See z/OS Security Server RACF Macros and Interfaces for more information about relocatable areas for RACF-owned records.
44	2C	SMF20PGM	20	EBCDIC	Programmer’s name.
64	40	SMF20NAF	1	binary	Number of accounting fields.
65	41	SMF20ACT	variable	EBCDIC	Accounting fields. Each entry for an accounting field contains the length of the field (one byte, binary) followed by the field (EBCDIC). A zero indicates an omitted field.
Relocate Section(Offset from beginning of record: SMF20RLO +4)
0	0	SMF20FLS	2	binary	Size of relocate section (including this field).
2	2	SMF20GRP	8	EBCDIC	RACF Group ID. If RACF is not active, this field is set to zero.
10	A	SMF20RUD	8	EBCDIC	RACF User ID. If RACF is not active, this field is set to zero.
18	12	SMF20TID	8	EBCDIC	RACF terminal ID. If RACF is not active, or if RACF is active and the user is not a terminal user, then this field is set to zero.

The table above is based on the description provided by IBM in its "MVS Systems Management Facilities (SMF)" manual.
